By the numbers: July Fourth on Cape Cod

By Doug Bailey| July 5, 2016

Ah, Cape Cod in July. Yes, the roads are clogged, the lines are long, and the beaches are cramped. But what do the numbers really say about business on Cape Cod? We wanted to dig in a bit on the volume of business activity on the Cape over the extended 4th of July weekend and took a random sampling of activity at various hot spots around the area based on last year’s figures and this season’s estimates. The bottom line: The Cape is a busy place in the summer. But you knew that. But did you know how many baseballs are used in a Cape Cod League game, or how many pounds of lobster are sold over the holiday weekend? Now you do.
